Story Highlights

Right off the bat, the results — and the surprises — were flying, fast and furious.

First couple deemed safe and therefore coming back to dance again: "Ingo and Kym!" Host Brooke Burke-Charvet had to say their names three times before General Hospital star Ingo Rademacher and partner Kym Johnson heard it and finally reacted with smiles and hugs.

Next, Bachelor star Sean Lowe and partner Peta Murgatroyd were said to be safe, as were Wynonna Judd and Tony Dovolani.

First couple in jeopardy: Victor Ortiz and his partner Lindsay Arnold.

We were then treated to an encore dance. Usually this couple is chosen by judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli, but on Tuesday's show it went to the couple who got the most tweets Monday night. Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy took the floor.

And then a big surprise: D.L. Hughley chatted with Tom Bergeron saying he was "glad he redeemed himself" with Monday's performance even though he was at the bottom of the leaderboard, with 8 points separating him and partner Cheryl Burke from the next closest star. Tom replied with, "Not only did you redeem yourself. You're coming back next week!" D.L. fell down to a crouch position on the stage in happiness. He was stunned.

Tom moved on to Lisa Vanderpump and her partner Gleb Savchenko, who joked in their confessional that Lisa "might have to sleep with Len" to stay on the show. And that might be right.

Second couple in jeopardy: Lisa and Gleb.

Then Brooke asked Andy Dick how'd he feel if he was sent home. He replied, 'I"m sore from head to toe. From now on, it's like gravy. If I keep going, it's a plus. If I go home, I get to sleep for a couple months."

In a taped segment, the stars talked about how tough it is to be on the show. Some of their quotes:

"This show takes a level of dedication I didn't expect," said Jacoby Jones."I thought it'd be simple .. easy," said Ortiz."I pulled a muscle, I'm bruised all over like a patchwork quilt, but I'm not giving up!" said Lisa Vanderpump."I've got to learn how to be graceful and fluid and smooth, and that's a challenge for me," said Sean. "I say it to my fans all the time: Go out on a limb, cuz that's where the fruit is, honey."

Dorothy Hamill, who is battling spine pain from a cyst affecting a nerve that has caused her foot to "drop," as she told Access Hollywood, was deemed safe.

And then Andy Dick was deemed safe.

But wait a minute -- Tom Bergeron called Dorothy and partner Tristan MacManus back out on the floor. "Something we confirmed during the last break," he said.

"I've taken the advice from my spine surgeon and I need to withdraw from the competition," Dorothy announced. "It could be irreparable nerve damage and it would be completely unfair for me to stay in this and have any of these people go home. I can't do what I need to. The rest of life... is important. ... It's not that I don't want to be here. I wish I could give it my all, but I can't!"

Choking back tears, Dorothy went on to say, "It's been a wonderful ride. I wish I could stay but I can't do justice to the commitment. ... It's the most incredible place to be. I'm so lucky to be part of it."
